spin-down usb disk: how to know if it does automatically?
Hi,
After installing debian in slug. my hard disk Phillips SPD5200CC [1],
seems that spin-downs automatically: blue light that indicate activity
is off and the shell is like "pause" (every command I type does not show
before blue light is on).
I would like to make sure that it's. How can I know that HD is spin-down
automatically? If it's not, why blue light is off?
Thanks in advance,
Xan.
